Branch News Special prayers and blessing to Katelynne Sears, who recently finished her basic training. Our prayers go with you. Get well wishes go out to Carol Truesdell, Glenn Wolfe, Steve Nagy, Eleanor Kender, Elsie Kantor, Emma Poliska, Rocky Borsa and Ernie Mayoros. We hope you have better days very soon. Thank you, Gerry Langan. We had a ball. Thank you to John and Emily Solosy for the prettiest raffle tickets we have ever had. We appreciate your kindness. Many Branch 18 members went to the Sureti Bal at the Hungarian American Cultural Center. A great time was had by all. Many of us went before Judge Louis Krajcz because we got caught stealing grapes. It was all great fun. Congratulations to National Vice President-Secretary Richard W. Toth for completing a successful year as president of the Pennsylvania Fraternal Congress. I know it is a lot of hard work. Congratulations to Jack Kelly for winning a car by scoring a hole-inone at the Chartiers Country Club. It couldn't have happened to a nicer person. Wish I could have been there. Remember, we are always collecting food for people and animals at all Branch 18 events. That includes meetings, parties and our many trips. Please remember the less fortunate. We are now taking reservations for our annual June trip up north. Please see the ad on the previous page and send it back to me as soon as possible. Our branch meetings are done for the year. We will resume meetings on April 21,2010, at 7:00 p.m. at the American Hungarian Reformed Church in Allen Park. Don't forget your food for the needy. Holy Cross Hungarian Catholic Church is hosting a Christmas dinner on Sunday, Dec. 20, after the 11:00 a.m. Mass. Christmas Eve services start at 10:00 p.m. with a Christmas concert. Mass is at 10:30 p.m. I am so happy it will begin earlier than midnight. I hope the attendance is stupendous. Have a wonderful and holy holiday season. Stay healthy and think spring. Branch 28 Youngstown, OH ^ by Kathy Novak Wishing a most blessed Christmas season to all our members and their families. Branch 28's annual family Christmas party will be held Saturday, Dec. 5, at 1:00 p.m. at Our Lady of Hungary Church, 545 N. Belle Vista, Youngstown. The branch officers thank the Home Office for its generous financial support as well as the great gift items for the children. Details of this event will appear in the next issue of the William Penn Life along with the winners of the holiday scholarship raffle held in conjunction with the event. Following the party, the election of branch officers for 2010 will be held. Those results will also appear in the next issue. Our branch, with the support of the Home Office, presented Holiday Baskets to several local charitable organizations. We wish the best of luck to all WPA scholarship recipients featured in last month's issue. As you can see by the photo above, provided by Frank Schauer, a truly beautiful day was had to commemorate the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. Frank Schauer also provided the photo of our October 50-year member appreciation dinner, which appears on the next page. Thanks go out to our branch photographer. With all the preparations and festivities taking place, let's not forget to send best wishes to all celebrating either a birthday or anniversary. Especially at this time of the year, please remember with special thoughts those who have recently lost a loved one. For your life insurance and annuity needs, please call Kathy Novak at 330-746-7704 or Alan Szabó at 330-482-9994. May the love and peace of this holy season be shared by all our family and friends.
